Why do some pills, like Tylenol, come in a loose form inside a bottle, while others are individually packaged in separate pouches?

Is this because some pills are more abused/misused? Does size play a factor? Small Pill = Different packaging.

A few years ago, I was going through security at an airport and for whatever reason, they were extremely thrown off by my prescription medication that was individually wrapped in what looked like foil. The guy was asking so many dumb questions and then asked why they were each wrapped and I said “I’m not certain but I would assume if they melt out of shape it makes them a lot harder to get them up your ass” and he could not have looked more disgusted. Haha like don’t worry dude they’re suppositories but not used ones
